Laying of polished concrete

Laying of Polished Concrete

Polished concrete is a modern, hard wearing finish that delivers a clean look with impressive strength. It works beautifully in homes, retail spaces, offices, and industrial settings where you want a seamless surface that is easy to live with. Our team lays and polishes concrete floors to create a smooth, refined result, tailored to the way you use the space.

Every project starts with listening. We discuss your goals for appearance, slip resistance, maintenance, and budget, then recommend the right level of polish and protection. Whether you want a subtle matte sheen or a high gloss finish, we focus on careful preparation and consistent workmanship so the floor looks great and performs for years.

What You Get With Our Polished Concrete Service

A finish designed around your space

Polished concrete can be adjusted in tone, shine, and texture. We can produce a natural concrete look, enhance the aggregate for a decorative appearance, or add a stain or dye for a warmer feel. For busy areas, we can also apply treatments that improve stain resistance and help reduce dusting from the slab.

Durability with low day to day upkeep

When installed correctly, polished concrete stands up well to foot traffic, rolling loads, and everyday wear. It is easy to clean using simple methods, and it avoids the grout lines and seams that often trap dirt. Many clients choose it as part of broader flooring services because it balances aesthetics with practicality.

Clear expectations from the start

We set out the steps, timelines, and site requirements so you know what to expect. This includes how much access we need, drying and curing considerations, and how we will protect nearby walls and finishes. If your project includes other trades, we can coordinate sequencing so the floor is completed at the right stage.

Our Process, Step by Step

Polished concrete depends on correct preparation and controlled grinding. We use proven methods and professional equipment to achieve an even finish across the whole area.

1. Site inspection and testing to check the slab condition, moisture levels, cracks, and flatness.
2. Subfloor preparation including cleaning, removing old coatings, and addressing weak or contaminated areas.
3. Repairs and leveling such as crack treatment, patching, and spot leveling to prevent visible defects.
4. Grinding stages with progressively finer diamond tooling to flatten the surface and refine the look.
5. Densifier application to harden the surface and improve durability and polish response.
6. Polishing stages to reach the agreed sheen level, from satin to high gloss.
7. Sealing and protection where needed, including stain guards for kitchens, shops, and entry zones.

If you are comparing options, we can also advise on how polished concrete fits alongside other floor covering services and which solution best matches your daily use, cleaning routine, and design goals.

Where Polished Concrete Works Best

This flooring is versatile and suits both new builds and renovations. It is often selected for its minimal joint lines, modern appearance, and ability to cope with heavy use.

• Homes including kitchens, hallways, living areas, and extensions where you want a continuous look.
• Retail and hospitality for an attractive surface that handles frequent cleaning and high footfall.
• Offices and public spaces where a bright, light reflecting finish can improve the feel of the room.
• Warehouses and workshops for a tough floor that supports rolling equipment and regular traffic.

We can also build in practical details such as slip resistant finishes in wet zones, transitions to adjacent rooms, and movement joint planning to support long term performance.

Quality, Safety, and Aftercare

Attention to detail that shows

Small details make a big difference in polished concrete, from edge work and corners to consistent sheen across large areas. We aim for uniformity, clean lines, and a finish that complements your walls, lighting, and furnishings.

Site cleanliness and safe working practices

Grinding and polishing requires proper dust control and careful handling of equipment. We use appropriate extraction, protect adjacent areas, and keep the site orderly so disruption is reduced. For occupied buildings, we plan work zones and timings to help maintain access and safety.

Simple maintenance guidance

After completion, we explain the best cleaning products, recommended pads or mops, and how to handle spills. With the right routine, polished concrete keeps its appearance with minimal effort, and periodic re sealing can be scheduled if your environment demands it. Many clients also book ongoing floor maintenance services to keep high traffic floors looking their best.
